Massive emergency operation is a mock up

If you-re out buying the Sunday papers and happen to witness the half charred remains of a passenger jet strewn across the fields of Remenham Farm today - try not to panic. 

You are not seeing the terrible events of another terrorist tragedy unfold before your very eyes. 

The burning fuselage is in fact a staged emergency training day for the Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire police fire and paramedic service men and women. 

The exercise, called Exercise Wilbur, is set to re-enact the devastating scenes of a mid air collision between a passenger jet and light aircraft. The wreckage will fall in three separate sites across the area.
The dramatic exercise has been organised by the Territorial Army and British Red Cross with volunteers playing the part of injured passengers and casualties. 

The three crash site scenarios were set to take place at Remenham Farm, near Henley, 8.30am, The Old Taplow Mill, Mill Lane, Maidenhead, 9am, and Henley Management College, in Greenlands, at 9.45am.
